If you base a pairing merely on interpretation, then it's probably not going to be very strong.
And then:
I never said anything about pairings based on only interpretation are weak.
Which is it?
Regardless, I think you and I just have different view points on what ship manifestos are all about. You seem to think they are meant to convince the world that MY pairing is the RIGHT pairing. I think they're about explaining WHY I like this pairing and why it works for me personally, and in that way explain what's good and fun about the pairing.
